- GlaucomaAnnual eye exams are vital to maintaining your vision and overall health. The Lange Eye Institute offers the opto map® as an important part of our eye exams. The opto map produces an image that is unique and provides Dr. Michael Lange, Dr. Lori Caputi and Dr. Susan Summerton with a high-resolution 200° image in order to ascertain the health of your retina. This is much wider than a traditional 45° image. Many eye problems can develop without you knowing, in fact, you may not even notice any change in your sight – fortunately, diseases or damage such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, retinal tears or detachments, and other health problems such as diabetes and high blood pressure can be seen with a thorough exam of the retina.
